Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 202 Preparations for the Autumn Outing (2)

"Old Wei, please make a couple more pancakes for Yan Xiangli."

"I'll trade you salted duck eggs!"

Ji Xiurong said something to Wei Fugui.

Wei Fugui nodded, indicating that he understood.

No one could have imagined that Yan Xiangli would quietly leave tomorrow.

Everyone was still enthusiastically discussing what to prepare for tomorrow's autumn outing.

Soon, everyone had agreed on what to prepare.

"Okay, let's set off first thing tomorrow morning!"

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Zhao Tianshan made the final decision.

"Okay, let's break up the meeting!"

……

"Xiangli, look!"

"This duplex is a bit small, but it's just right for two people!"

Ji Xiurong pulled Yan Xiangli to an empty dugout.

"Perfect for the two of us to use for our wedding!"

Ji Xiurong looked at Yan Xiangli with a happy expression, her heart filled with anticipation for their wonderful future together.

"Xiurong, you've brought me so much happiness these past few months in Bashang!"

"Thank you!"

Yan Xiangli looked at the girl in front of him and silently said sorry to her in his heart.

"No need to thank me, we'll be family soon."

"One family doesn't speak the same language!"

Ji Xiurong waved her hand as she listened to Yan Xiangli's words.

"By the way, my mom and three older sisters bought us a lot of things."

"They can send it to us right away!"

"My second sister is very skillful; she cut out the character '囍' (double happiness) and paper-cut window decorations for us!"

"You can put it here, right here!"

Ji Xiurong walked around in the dugout, planning their arrangements after their marriage.

"My mom even made new quilts for us, the lining, the outer layer, the cotton—all new!"

"Everyone said they also want to sew dates and peanuts inside."

Ji Xiurong imagined the things as if she could already see them.

"The satin that my third sister gave us."

"It's made of silk, and it's embroidered with dragons and phoenixes symbolizing good fortune. It must be very beautiful!"

"so good!"

Yan Xiangli listened to Ji Xiurong's description and smiled bitterly to himself.

"Oh, by the way, you've already written to your family about this, right?"

"It's unfilial of you not to tell your family about something so important!"

Ji Xiurong looked at Yan Xiangli, as if she had remembered something.

He walked up to Yan Xiangli and asked him a serious question.

"It's written!"

Yan Xiangli looked at Ji Xiurong and forced a smile.

Ji Xiurong was completely absorbed in her happiness and didn't notice anything amiss with Yan Xiangli.

It's said that women in love have negative IQs.

That's absolutely true!

Ji Xiurong looked at Yan Xiangli and asked him to sit down on the edge of the kang (heated brick bed) in the dugout.

"Xiangli, there's something I'd like to discuss with you!"

"I asked my mom to go to the department store on the street and buy two pounds of the best sugar!"

"Conditions on the dam are very harsh; everyone eats in the large canteen."

"Shall we skip the dinner?"

"How about we give everyone a handful of candy then?"

"Okay!"

Yan Xiangli listened attentively to Ji Xiurong's plan.

To be honest, he was starting to waver.

He felt that staying in Bashang might be a good option.

I love your quiet and gentle demeanor.

"Be composed and don't talk much!"

"Like a great intellectual!"

"When Director Qu arrives, we'll submit a report and apply for marriage, okay?"

"At that time, I'll be yours!"

Ji Xiurong put her arm around Yan Xiangli's arm and leaned gently on his shoulder, her face full of happiness.

"Xiangli, I am so happy to marry you!"

Yan Xiangli looked at Ji Xiurong, his heart filled with conflict again.

……

"This is Minister Li Kunli of the Ministry of Forestry."

"This is Qu He, the director of the Weichang County Forestry Bureau!"

Yu Zheng first introduced himself to Li Kun and Qu He respectively.

"Minister, hello!"

Qu He took the initiative to step forward and greet Li Kun.

"Hello, Comrade Qu He!"

Li Kun responded politely to Qu He and took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with Qu He.

"Old Qu, this is an expert from the Soviet Federation, his name is Pekovich!"

Yu Zheng then introduced Pekovic to Qu He.

"Comrade Lao Pei, this is Comrade Qu He, the director of our Weichang County Forestry Bureau!"

Qu He looked at the foreigner and took another step forward.

He greeted her warmly and wanted to shake hands with the expert.

"Comrade Pekovic, hello!"

Pekovic looked at Qu He, and once again brilliantly ignored him.

"What kind of place is this? Why haven't we arrived yet?"

"I've been on the bus for so long, I've really had enough!"

Pekovic stood with his hands on his hips, loudly grumbling.

They paid no attention to Li Kun and the others who had dark expressions on their faces.

"Comrade Pei, we'll be there soon!"

Let's rest here for a bit today!

"We'll arrive at the Bashang area of ​​Saihanba tomorrow."

Yu Zheng listened to Pekovic's complaints and took the initiative to comfort him.

"I'll say it again, my name is Pekovic, not Old Pekovic!"

Pekovic, upon hearing Yu Zheng's address to it, uttered a discontented remark.

"Very well, Comrade Pekovic!"

Yu Zhenglai said one more thing and then shut up.

"Old Qu, where is Xia Xia?"

In the director's office, Yu Zheng looked at Qu He and asked a question.

"Xia went up to the dam this morning!"

"They said they needed to make some preparations!"

"Okay, Xia is very thoughtful!"

Yu Zheng listened to Qu He's explanation and said something.

……

"Oh~"

As soon as Xia Tian rode his horse to the camp, Chang Wei excitedly pounced on him.

Fortunately, the horse I rode in the summer was often seen by Chang Wei.

Otherwise, the horse would definitely kick up its heels.

"Chang Wei, have you missed me?"

Xia Tian dismounted and caught Chang Wei as he lunged at him.

Chang Wei stuck out his tongue excitedly.

Xia Tian looked at Chang Wei's dog-like behavior and tapped him on the head.

"Look at you, what have you become since you started learning from Xiao Liu?"

Where is even a trace of the majesty of a wolf king?

Zhao Tianshan also heard Chang Wei's commotion and came out of the camp.

"Xia, you're back?"

"came back!"

Summer was overjoyed to see Zhao Tianshan, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

Is everything alright?

"Everything is fine, everything is fine!"

"What about the rest?"

"Feng Cheng took them to take care of the seedlings in the nursery."

"Old Wei and I are staying here to prepare for tomorrow's autumn outing!"

Zhao Tianshan said something to Xia Tian.

"Autumn outing?"

Xia Tian asked, puzzled.

"Is such that……"

Zhao Tianshan explained to Xia Tian why they were going on an autumn outing.

After listening, Xia Tian nodded.

"Great! I'm going to the Wind-Suppressing Divine Tree tomorrow too, let's go together!"

Xia Tian said something to Zhao Tianshan.

"You go ahead and get busy, I'll go back to the camp and pack up."

"Let's talk about it tonight!"

Xia Tian then said to Zhao Tianshan, "Tie the horse to the horse rack."

They headed towards the old camp.
